Missing image

T eaching is what I was born to do.


H elping teens find peace is what I long to accomplish


E ven when they are bitter and unlikeable.


L oving the unlovely is my heart's desire -


O pening closed hearts and healing lost dreams -


R ealizing their destinies and showing them off to the world -


D emanding that no child is worthless or expendable -


R eaching for inspiration as the Lord reigns in me


E ven when I have no energy left,


I  long to do what others have failed to do.


G iving my heart, mind, and time for them


N ow and forevermore, I pledge to advocate and stand by my


S tudents in all their beauty, strength, and awesome uniqueness.

Author notes

I teach English at an alternative high school. My job is my calling. I pray each day that the Lord reigns in me as I touch the lives of my students.

    this is great! I love that style of poem, they never work out for me. Oh, and as for line 2 & 3. If that's true I know a girl you can start with. I've prayed and tried to help her. But I'm the victum of her harassment.

    Sweet, an English teacher. I see people find it easy to explain their name in the acrostic form. You've shown me that you're a great person and picked your names wisely. Thanks for entering. Good write and good luck.

    This was very interesting. A poem written fully and completely about what you do and your calling. I find that very different from most poems I read and it is rare to see such pride in what one does.
    Good luck!

    hey
    this is fantastic. so heartwarming to know that atleast there is someone out there that can care for kids that are defined "unperfect" in some places. this is awesome. i really dont know what to say. but you must be a very sweet woman to give your time to kids that need love and attention. awesome. ♥

    Not only do I admire your profession and your strong commitment to what you have chosen to do with your life, I also admire the positive qualities you possess and assign to yourself. You have great esteem and this too will be seen in the eyes of those whose lives you touch. I am not sure if you are aware of it or not, but in an acrostic, the title should be the same as what the words spell. In this case, the title should be thelordreigns. And by the way... it's nice to meet you. Thank you for taking the time and making the effort to enter my contest. Good luck!

      I have seen you around AP but have never really gotten to know you. It's a pleasure! Thank you for holding this contest so we could finally meet!

    Excellent!

    Good for you! Love to hear of a teacher who cares! Not enough of you. I taught in a vo-tech teaching teens, troubled or autistic. I loved your acrostic!
